US 'silent on Israeli nuclear arms'

Double standards any one, or do we still have our heads under the sand. WAKE UP!

I personally believe the US should stop this none-sense not because they have to, but because they should care. They should care that certain policies
of theirs causes more harm than good.

Barack Obama, the US president, has agreed to abide by a 40-year policy of allowing Israel to keep nuclear weapons without opening them to
international inspection, according to a US newspaper.

In a report on Saturday, The Washington Times quoted three unnamed sources as saying Obama had confirmed to Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime
minister, that he would maintain the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

How is it a double standard? Israel is an ally. Iran is not. Our allies should have nuclear weapons- England does, as does France. Are England and
France training insurgents to kill coalition forces in Afghanistan, are they arming the insurgents or giving them IEDs? Last I checked, Iran was and
is doing such things, England, France and Israel are not.

All right now as stevegmu stated earlier in regards to your op I cannot agree more. There are many countries that have nukes, the fact remains that
America should not comment on Israelis program. Why should we? It is not like they are on strike alert. And Israel is a stable country Iran I fear its
leadership far more than I do its people and I fear that if they develop a nuclear bomb that leadership will use it. Or hold countries for ransom so
to speak.

And from english.aljazeera.net. tisk tisk once more posting propaganda something should be done about this.

However, those arguing that we need not check Israels nukes because they are our mates are horribly misguided. Remember... Iran and Iraq and even the
Taliban/Bin Laden have all been 'our allies' at some point in the past. Who knows what the future may bring?

So yes, Israel should be subject to arms inspection! They are every bit as mad as every other country in the middle east. The difference is, Israel
can destroy the world as we know it, the others cannot.

I guess the United States has a better connection with Israel than most people relise.Both countries intelligence services are very closely linked in
a lot of different areas and services .Anyone want a job in Mossad.

What gives any country (especially USA with ww2 in mind), the right to say who can and can't get nuclear weapons? They have no moral ground to stand
on.

IMO we as a world should not use nuclear weapons or power with our shocking use and accident track record. Nuclear mistake means almost permanent
damage to you and the environment, look at any fallout map and you'll see it goes almost everywhere eventually.
The country I live in (New Zealand) bans all nuclear weapons and reactors from its shores and seas due to the will of its people. Perhaps more
countries could follow this example. We don't even have strike aircraft, instead we base our airforce around aid, humanitarian and fishing quota
management. Perhaps more nations could throw down their arms, unite as the one people we are (in a non nwo way) and do something similar?

Oh gee what an explanation

Im sorry this is a serious subject but really not. Any nation we dont choose to comment on, it has immunity to our
analysis? Where did this mentality come from?

Its like we have you folks blame the media for being bias because it chooses not to comment on conservative concerns as much as you like. Are we going
to pick and choose? Do you have an image in your head of God giving his hands to middle and southern rightwing conservatives to dictate how the world
works?
